So, you think you can dance?
Well, you can’t. :P
This isn’t a show we were planning on watching but we happened along it last night and actually ended up watching the whole thing, Steve included - surprisingly, it held his attention quite well. It’s like a train wreck, you just can’t take your eyes off of it. You’re either laughing hysterically at the sight or you’re in awe at the talent - there is no middle ground.
I mean, in LA you got this one chick, right? And she says that she thinks she can bring “sexiness” to the competition, and I have to laugh because her belly button is sweating. She’s like this really bad stripper or something and she leaves me wondering why in the heck she would ever wear that tight get-up she’s got on in the first place, besides her bellybutton, her armpits are sweating - it’s just so not attractive. And besides that, she can’t dance and she looks possessed when she tries. Haha, even the judges told her that much.
Then you’ve got this other chick who happens along, sees the line outside the building, goes in to see what they’re in line for, and ends up deciding to audition because, “I wan go La Vegas.” Now, I’m not dissing people who don’t speak English too well, but this chick ended up getting really upset because they told her that she wasted her time and theirs and she murdered The King’s English so well that they had to put up subtitles for her. Subtitles!! You could not understand a word she was saying. But she was so hilarious, before all that they asked her what moves she’s got and she shows three of them which are basically turning in a circle, bending over, and pointing at the audience, it was so funny.
Now they’re doing another episode from Chicago and so far this is just as funny.
You even have some girl puking off the side of the stage. It’s like sheesh, at least try to get to the bathroom, will ya?
And the chick who’s boobs popped out of the top of her dress? What were you thinking!? Of course they’re going to pop out - that’s why people wear that style of dress!
And the people who get angry because they’re not chosen? It’s just like on American Idol, they try to tell the camera how horrible the judges are and how one day they will be famous and “I’ll show you” but they just come off as completely stupid and half the time what they’re saying doesn’t even make any sense.
And the chick that was really stripping in the lobby? Honey, you SUCK. Flinging your hair around is not dancing, sorry to break it to you. How she made it through to the next round I really have no idea.
And the girl judge? She cracks me up. You get someone horrible up there and she just laughs and laughs and her laugh is kind of funny in itself but I really wonder how someone up there could keep on dancing when they hear the judges laughing like that, I’d be so mortified!
But I am amazed overall at these people who are interviewed and say they teach dancing but then they get out there and you think… are they teaching dogs to dance? Or actual people? Because who would pay them?
Mmmmmm I loved it when Nigel said, “I think you just gave white dancers a really bad name… I think that if you could see yourself, you’d quit dancing… you charge money to choreograph people? Timothy, you should give that money back, that’s stealing!” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Just goes to show you that anyone can say, “hey, I’m a dance teacher,” or “hey, I’m a martial arts instructor,” or “hey, I’m a voice trainer,” and people will actually believe them…
Okay, we all know I don’t make it a habit of watching “reality” shows, I typically can’t understand why anyone would want to watch them (they’re not reality!!!!!), but I do like American Idol and this one smells like American Idol so far, so… it wastes an hour of my life anyway. I guess it all boils down to the fact that I’ve been watching less satellite tv and more network tv lately for some strange reason…
Oh well! :)
